A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a flag-draped casket being carried toward a stone building. Men in light-colored military uniforms support the casket, their backs to us. To our left, men in suits watch the procession, while uniformed figures stand at attention to our right. An American flag stands near an arched doorway in the background, where a photographer holds a camera above the crowd.
